Sherrod was assessed a penalty of $2 million by the Environmental Protection Agency for violation of a federal law in 2024. The fine is to be paid in equal amounts in 2024 and 2025. Sherrod rents its operating facilities but owns one asset acquired in 2023 at a cost of $92 million. Depreciation is reported by the straight-line method, assuming a four-year useful life.
